Your radio station will be one of the most important platforms to sell our messages and will be one of the main instruments for campaigning this time. So, you are going to become very important in the coming days. We will come and plead with you to provide us with your platform for the electioneering campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The radio will become an important platform for communicating, online, all kinds of things and of course house to house. I\u2019m sure that big big rallies, people congregating this time will not work but direct campaigning, online, radio, television, house to house, these are going to be the instruments of the campaign this time around\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>WATCH THE VIDEO:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube alignleft wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\"  id=\"_ytid_62981\"  width=\"480\" height=\"270\"  data-origwidth=\"480\" data-origheight=\"270\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/QzweQIKRDnU?enablejsapi=1&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;rel=0&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=1&#038;autohide=2&#038;theme=dark&#038;color=red&#038;controls=1&#038;disablekb=0&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__  epyt-is-override  no-lazyload\" title=\"YouTube player\"  allow=\"fullscreen; accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=\"\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The President of Ghana Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has dropped a hint that campaigns leading up to Election 2020 will be direct and devoid of large gatherings like it used to be in previous elections.
